  • Summary

  • In Love Doesn't Pay the Bills, we explore the role of family caregivers in the modern United States through personal stories and interviews with leaders. Care work is vital to all other aspects of life, yet often under-resourced. Caregivers cannot house and feed ourselves or provide for our own medical needs based on our love for our family members alone: access to income matters. We also have the same needs as other workers for regular time off, to participate in social life and recreation, and for ongoing education and new opportunities over time. email Lisa: lisatschudi@twosquaredmediaproductions.com

    Replay of Fully Fund Care: with guest Calli Ross
    Dec 26 2024
    This episode was originally published on March 7, 2023. The Guest this week is Calli Ross who is a family caregiver and leader in the movement in Oregon to allow parents to be paid for providing extraordinary care to their minor children with disabilities. In the 2025 legislative session, Tensy's law, named for her son will be introduced to eliminate the lottery system that was created with SB91 which allows only about 10% of otherwise eliegible children to hire parent providers for pay. Tensy's law will allow all otherwise eligible children to pay parent providers for extraordinary care needs, the same as they would be able to pay any other direct support professional.

  • These Are All Normal Feelings: With Guest Lynn Abaté-Johnson

    These Are All Normal Feelings: With Guest Lynn Abaté-Johnson
    Dec 19 2024
    Lynn Abaté-Johnson joins Lisa to discuss the breadth and complexity of our human feelings as caregivers, particularly at the holidays. We reflect on the paradox that embracing difficult emotions can bring more ability to adjust to them, live with them, and notice the more pleasant ones which can exist right alongside them.

    After being a primary caregiver for her mom for over six years, International Best-Selling Author & Speaker, Lynn Abaté-Johnson, understands the typhoon of emotions and responsibilities that come with caring for a loved one. Like most family caregivers, Lynn juggled caregiving duties with a full-time career. In her daily life, she’s a global community builder and business consultant. Lynn wrote the book, “Out Of Love: A Daughter’s Journey With Her Mom To The End” to normalize and de-stigmatize what many families may take for granted or miss in their roles as caregivers. She offers practical tools & resources, along with encouragement for other family caregivers, with the goal of bringing light to the dark and peace to the soul.
